[K0065][v4HF3] avatar movement freezes with thankyou message

Post by Submarine » Fri, 25. Jun 21, 19:12

In 4.00 CoH HF3 standard Steam instal with no mods, when the player destroys a criminal there is a thankyou message with money "here's a little something" followed by a thankyou with rep status update a half minute after the event or so. This is often just before docking and so the message arrives when docked and traveling on the station.

Both thankyous cause the avatar movement to freeze when moving on a station. If moving the avatar stops and no input registers until after the messages both stop playing.

Expected behaviour is for avatar movement to continue normally like space flight, not being interrupted by thanks.

Also, external remote viewing (default F3) fails to respond to hotkey when the help message is playing when flying in space.

You have to wait for it to end before you can inspect the target and retarget, goes against the flow of play.

IMHO these messages should not be playing in the critical target info window either and it would be better if they played in the messages window or above it in the top left corner as with X2.
